  1. Oh alright, then.....

     

    The VW Phaeton is pretty nice. Doesn't attract too much attention, but you'll know it's nice.

    I only ever saw one. Apparently they are in the neighborhood of $90k.

  2. hierI love this new Audi R8

    or if you don't mind building your car/having it built, I just saw this baby in a magazine I get:

    Their website

    It's called the Factory Five GTM. You can't argue with performance that rivals an Enzo with a price of a little more than $60k.

     

    And so unique.

  3. On the topic of slow drivers, mexicans (the illegal alien kind) are the slowest. Slower than old women and much slower than rednecks. They tend to drive like this because they tend to not have insurance.

     

     

    Also, anytime you see a minivan towing another minivan, you can bet your ass a mexican is driving.

  4. To answer a couple questions:

    University of Houston

    I could add/drop online before, but at this juncture it is no longer an option.

     

    Also, ARCEL, I could never have thought of such a concise way to put it.

  5. Re: What Made You Come To 12oz???

     

    Back when Crooked used to be shapes, he turned me on to the myspace picture post which I thought was pretty funny (as embarrassing as it is to admit that's the reason I came here). I branched out from there.

     

    But I've got a question, where are all the other channels in this poll?

  6. Alright, I'm getting seriously tired of UH and how difficult it is to accomplish anything within the administration.

     

    Today I went to inquire about why my classes that I had turned in the drop/add form for last week hadn't been added. Come to find out that they had been added, but they had also been dropped again. The reason: Payment is due by the end of the business day on which the classes were added. What kind of bullshit is that? Who does that? One would think it would be reasonable to set the payment date a week out or even to the end of the business day on Friday of that week.

     

    To add to the frustration of this ridiculous policy, UH makes it incredibly difficult to actually adhere to the rule. They only accept Mastercard and Discover at the bursar's office. This means that our Visa (even though Visa and Mastercard are the same company) and American Express are completely useless in this predicament. That leaves me with three options:

    1) I have to have over $1,700 cash walking around with me

    2) I can process a check online, which my father won't let me do because we would have to give our account number. But, I can bring a check in tomorrow.

    3) Take out an "emergency loan" that ends up costing me even more. I don't need a loan, I need a fucking extra day.

     

    All of this being said, my only real option is to go through this whole stupid process again tomorrow. I get to go down the same path, fraught with incompetence and marked with inter-office disorganization, only to end up at the same destination. So in the end, the school has not only given me the run-around, but has also wasted the time and resources of its employees. So I ask, who benefits from any of this?

     

    On top of all of this, the parking office managed to bill me twice for my parking permit. That's just one more thing I have to fix because UH buys these desks that apparently rend all logic and capabilities from anyone unfortunate enough to sit behind them.

     

    Regarding the inter-office disorganization I can never seem to get the same story from any two departments at the school. Even at the welcome center, I can talk to the people at the advising office and walk down the hall fifty feet and be told something completely different. I don't think the school is so dynamic as to have policy changes in the time that it takes me to traverse that distance, if anything it's more likely the contrapositive of this proposition: nothing changes quickly. Why is it then that no one can get their shit straight? Even things that are practically set in stone manage to get fucked up. If I'm at the wrong office, I can bet that I'll get sent to the wrong office three or four more times before finally ending up somewhere where someone can "help" me.

     

     

     

     

    God I would love to work here, it would be so easy to steal money.

  7. Haha Distract. I like your response because I know people that are doing the other two swaps you mentioned. My cousin will be doing the rb25 or rb26 and one of my friends was looking at importing a 1jz for a while. But from what I understand, the rb swap is no fun because it's expensive to do and parts for it are at least 2-3x more costly. The 1jz sounds so much better than the 2jz. The exhaust note on a high powered 2jz sounds like those shitty little firecrackers.

     

    And Avancier, if I kept the stock KA I wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the added displacement unless I swap out the engine internals. The cost of forged KA internals is more than that of a fully functional SR engine installed and everything. Unless you've been looking places that I haven't.

  8. I'm contemplating getting an S13 in September.

    By then I'll have enough money to afford the car, and the sr20 swap without breaking my bank too much. It's not going to cost me much because I have a whole crew of car enthusiast friends that are going to help me do all of the work.

    In the end, I think I'll have a T28 with GT30 innards, which with a good tune should put 350 hp to the wheels (right?) and still maintain daily driveability and good gas mileage since it's a late spooler.

    I'll be putting a front lip on it for sure because I hate the nose. I hate corvette front ends too, but I saw one with a lip and a little lip goes a long way. I may also opt for the jdm taillights. But this aesthetic stuff is definitely at the bottom of my list of shit to do.

     

    I'm super stoked.

    Anyone else have any s13 suggestions?

    Also, I haven't really looked yet, but how's the wight distribution on them?

  9. Just make up some bullshit story about why you stopped talking to her, like issues with

    your family (a sick old relative or some shit), and feed it to her. Tell her that you didn't

    mean anything by it and suggest meeting for lunch/dinner/whatever mero does with a

    girl pre-sex.
